Today in our #25DaySpeakingChallenge, we unlock storytelling power through my most jaw-dropping experience:
*”In 2013, I was told it was ‘impossible’ to attend a heads-of-state summit in Munyo. No accreditation. No invitation. Yet hours later, I stood before 5 presidents – Kagame, Museveni, Kenyatta, Kikwete, and Nkurunziza.”*
The Lesson?
